While I do not appreciate your tone of conversation, I'll oblige, assuming
you haven't had your morning coffee yet. Right click the VM, the option is
right there. See the screenshot attached

Just so you are aware, power off pulls the plug out of the VM, it kills it
outright, so the effect will be just as if you've lost power to it. It is
generally healthier to solve the shutdown problem.

Here's a hint, this isn't about Windows 10, but might hit close the mark
nonetheless:
